Biden on cheerleaders: ‘The stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind’

“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke,” the pool report, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel, reads. “He began by asking which teams were represented — football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked. ‘Cheerleaders,’ a group of girls shouted.”

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Biden’s stealing my material. I’ve always said that Obama’s real talent lies in “dribbling on the hard wood.”

    As a ex high school football player, I was always more impressed by the things they did on turf

    Not to take away from cheerleaders but Biden is easily impressed, just look at his fawning for Obama.

    I’d be the last one to defend the token old, senile white guy in the administration, but in fairness…this could be a matter of interpretation.

    Did he mean “hardwood” or “hard wood”?
    “Hardwood” is what the court’s made of.
    “Hard wood” is what Chrissy Matthews gets, watching his idol.

    For any other President in any country, on any planet, in the history of the Universe, Biden would be an embarassment – for this one, he’s a perfect fit.
